FTC-4 Installation Manual

Key Facts
This version of the Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder is the fourth generation in terms of its control systems
and the design of key mechanical components.
As you would expect there have been many technological changes based around our experience of producing
premium quality cylinders optimised to work with our Ecodan® range of air source heat pumps.
For those familiar with previous generations of our cylinders the most obvious change is the addition of a larger,
FTC-4 control centre providing greater flexibility and additional functionality when compared with the outgoing
FTC-2 versions. Some Key FTC-4 features are shown below.

The main controller replaces the room thermostat, timeclock and commissioning controller previously supplied.
In ‘Room Compensation’ mode this controller measures and records actual and target room temperature which
when combined with other sensor readings allow the system to calculate the minimum required flow temperature,
meaning the Ecodan® is heating the property in the most efficient way possible. This controller is supplied loose
and is intended to be used as the main thermostat. It should not be installed within the cylinder cupboard.
FTC-4 based systems also have the ability to control multiple Ecodan® units or to integrate fossil fuel boilers into
a single system. Further details of how to achieve these types of setup can be found later in this manual.
Precise control of any immersion heater fitted is now available directly from FTC-4 so there is no need to add
any third party relays as was the case with FTC-2 systems. Immersion heater strategy can be edited in terms
of maximum temperature, frequency, start time and duration of maximum temperature to ensure that the
pasteurisation cycle consumes the minimum amount of electricity and can be tailored for any installation.
The TH5 sensor now takes on the role of not just the control stat but also the high limit stat, in the very unlikely
event of a high temperature failure, power will be cut to the heat source and mechanical isolation will be provided
by closing of the hot water valve.
Other features such as SD card input and the potential for Wi-Fi connectivity will mean that commissioning
and fault finding on FTC-4 based systems will become quicker and easier.

Cylinder Installation Requirements
Water Supply
The water supply should be checked to ensure the pressure and flow rate are suitable for the Mitsubishi Electric
packaged cylinder (Maximum flowrate = 50 litres/minute, Maximum pressure = 3 bar). If necessary consult the local
water company regarding the likely pressure and flow rate availability.
If measuring the water pressure note that a high static (no flow) mains pressure is no guarantee of good flow
availability. In a domestic installation 1.5 bar and 25l/m should be regarded as the minimum pressure/ flowrate.
Consideration should be given to upgrading existing ½” (15mm) cold mains pipework to a larger size, if the
recommended minimum pressure/ flowrate is not being achieved.
Siting the Cylinder
The minimum recommended cupboard floor area is 750mm x 750mm, the minimum height will be dependent on
the size of cylinder used. In all cases an extra 300mm clearance should be allowed from the top of the cylinder for
connection of the hot water draw off pipework.
Outlets above the cylinder will reduce the outlet pressure available by 0.1 bar for every 1m of height difference.
The unit should be protected from frost. Particular care is needed if siting in a garage or outbuilding. All exposed
pipework should be insulated. The cylinder must be installed vertically on a flat base capable of supporting it’s
weight when full.
Access for maintenance of the valves should be considered. The immersion heaters are 375mm long and care
should be taken that they can be withdrawn for servicing if required. The discharge pipework from the safety valves
should fall continuously and terminate safely in accordance with approved document G3 of the current building
regulations.
Solar Connections
Where available these are designed to allow the input of solar thermal to complement the Ecodan®. Dedicated
volumes of water covered by the solar thermal input are shown in the following table. The domestic Heating
Compliance Guide L1A and L1B offer advice on the sizing of solar thermal systems.

Heat Pump System Overview
The Ecodan® air source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the outside air and transfers this into a property in
the form of hot water as a conventional heating system does.
The system works on a hot water priority basis and the pipework configuration is that of a standard S-plan layout.
Hot water mode can be controlled either by the timeclock built into the main controller or can be started and
stopped when a certain drop in cylinder temperature is detected by THW5. It is up to the installer to choose the
setup that best suits their customer’s needs, for example if hot water usage was predictable and small then a timed
schedule would be most suitable. If however, hot water use was unpredictable and large quantities were required
then auto reheat would adapt to the requirements and there would always be plenty of hot water available.
Heating can be controlled in a number of different ways using FTC-4, there is the option for either timed or
constantly on. When running in timed mode it is possible to program setback periods throughout the course of the
day. Either the main controller, a Mitsubishi Electric wireless controller or a Mitsubishi Electric hard wired sensor can
be installed. Multiple sensors can be used on a single system with the ‘master’ sensor being rotated at set times
throughout the day. There is also an input on FTC-4 to accept third party non voltage thermostats or signals from
underfloor heating wiring centres.
In terms of how the heating water temperatures are controlled there are three options. Option 1 is traditional
weather compensation, the installer will input the correct flow temperatures at specific outdoor conditions directly
into the main controller, the FTC-4 will then follow these settings. Option 2 is to run the system at a fixed flow
temperature. This is not recommended as it is the least efficient method of providing space heating. There are
instances whereby it is a useful feature, for example when commissioning a system. Option 3 is known as room
compensation and is only available when using a Mitsubishi Electric thermostat. In this mode the FTC-4 will
calculate the optimum flow temperature.
Each of the three Ecodan® models require sufficient primary flow rate for adequate operation. Due to the large
resistances caused by the plate heat exchanger in the Ecodan®, the Mitsubishi Electric Package Cylinder has two
circulating pumps in series to produce the required flow rates. When in hot water mode only one pump will operate,
whereas due to the higher resistances of the heating circuit when the system is in heating mode both pumps will
operate. These pumps must be set to the same speed or damage to the system may occur.
A flow setter valve is supplied with each system to give an indication of the actual flow rate achieved. It should be
installed in the common flow or return pipe work to the Ecodan®.
Automatic air vents must be installed at the highest point of the primary system. The slightest amount of air in the
system can reduce efficiencies and even cause the Ecodan® to fault.
The primary loop must contain a 20 - 25% antifreeze concentration (or as recommended by the manufacturer) to
avoid possible freezing during periods when the appliance is not being operated. It is recommended that a monopropylene glycol with biocide is used such as Fernox HP-5C or Fernox HP-15C. The hardness of the mains water
(>200ppm) should be checked by the installer and if necessary an in-line scale reducer should be recommended.
To optimise running costs it is advisable to seek the cheapest possible electricity tariff. Although electricity prices
are higher than gas or oil, the efficiency of the system means that it requires less energy to supply the same heating
demands, thus producing cheaper energy bills. Compared to regular electricity bills it will look higher than usual, but
the homeowner should be aware that this bill incorporates heating that is usually achieved through gas or oil.

How a Heat Pump Works
7
The heat pump essentially works in the same way as your refrigerator but in reverse. The Ecodan® is hermetically
sealed (no refrigeration piping involved) with R410A refrigerant, the cycle it completes to produce heat is known
as the vapour compression refrigeration cycle:
Step 1
The first phase begins with the refrigerant being cold and low pressure. The refrigerant within the circuit is
compressed as it passes through the compressor. It becomes a hot, highly pressurised gas. The temperature
also rises typically to 60°C.
Step 2
The refrigerant is then condensed as it passes across a plate heat exchanger. Having a cooler side to the heat
exchanger it decreases the temperature, so it changes the property of the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid.
Step 3
The refrigerant as a cold liquid still has a high pressure. For expansion to occur it passes through
an expansion valve. The pressure drops but it is still a cold liquid.
Step 4
The final stage of the cycle is when the refrigerant passes into the evaporator and evaporates. It is at this point
when some of the free heat energy in the outside air is absorbed by the refrigerant. It is only the refrigerant that is
being passed through this cycle; the water is heated up by the plate heat exchanger. The cooler water extracts
energy from the hotter refrigerant, i.e. the water is heated as it passes across the plate heat exchanger. This water
flows towards the heating system and hot water storage tank, where its energy is used to provide domestic hot
water and space heating.
Boiling points:
The refrigerant used within the cycle has a different boiling point to water, which boils (turns from liquid to gas) at
100°C. This is only true at atmospheric pressure. When the pressure increases so does the boiling temperature;
decrease the pressure and boiling temperature drops. Liquid turns to gas at a lower temperature. The boiling point
changes when the pressure changes. Refrigerants have different properties to water and have much lower boiling
temperatures. During the fourth stage of the cycle the outside ambient temperature even in winter is therefore hotter
than the temperature of the refrigerant and will heat it.

Low Noise Mode
11
To activate low noise mode an optional 3 wire adaptor is required (PAC-SC36NA). This can either be wired into a
manual switch or a timed version. The level of low noise mode which will be activated (as shown in the relevant
graphs below and over the page) is determined by the combination of DIP switch settings (SW5-1 and SW5-2) on
the outdoor unit as shown below. As low noise mode reduces maximum capacity it is important that the capacity at
the low noise mode selected is sufficient to overcome the building’s calculated heat losses.

Heat Emitters

Please note that heat pumps provide lower flow temperatures to radiators than a conventional gas or oil boiler, the
best performance is achieved with lower flow temperatures. Rather than the radiators turning on/off locally as with a
fossil fuel boiler, heat pumps provide a more consistent lower flow temperature which allows for more efficiency and
greater comfort.
Sizing of Radiators
All heat emitters should be selected in order to overcome the heat losses as calculated for the area to be served by
that emitter. In the case of radiators the most important factors which contribute to specific output are the desired
room temperature and the MWT or mean water temperature (flow temperature + return temperature / 2). All radiators
sold in the UK must have their output verified in accordance with BSEN442, a difference between room temperature
and MWT of 50ºC is typically used (bT). A heat pump system will work on a bT of much less than a fossil fuel system,
in the case of a flow temperature of 47.5ºC and a return of 42.5ºC for example a MWT of 45ºC will apply.
At these conditions radiators need to be significantly larger than those used for a conventional fossil fuel based
system. All radiator manufacturers provide adjustment factors so that the correct radiator may be selected when
designing a system to operate at lower flow temperatures, an example of how to use these is given below.
Sizing Example
First the room losses must be established by undertaking a heat loss
calculation to the required standard, in this case room losses are assumed.

For a heat pump system with a MWT of 45°C and a target room temperature
of 20°C a ∆T of 25°C will apply, the adjustment table from the relevant
manufacturer should be used as below:
In this example the appropriate adjustment factor for 25°C ∆T should be
used, in this case 0.406 is selected.
To work out the corrected output for an existing radiator, multiply quoted
radiator output by adjustment factor
1268 x 0.406 = 514.8 Watts
This radiator will now produce less than half what is required to adequately
heat the room.
To work out the required output as quoted in the brochure for a new radiator running
at a lower flow temperature, divide quoted radiator output by adjustment factor.
1268 / 0.406 = 3123.1 Watts
To adequately heat the room using a MWT of 45°C a radiator that achieves an output
of at least 3123 Watts in the brochure will be required.
K2 (double panel/double convector) 600mm x 1800mm, output = 3200 Watts (at ∆T 50).
It may not be practically possible to fit a radiator this size in the desired position in which case adding an
additional radiator should be considered in order to achieve the required total output.

Underfloor heating
Heat pumps provide lower flow temperatures than traditional gas fired boilers, this means that the installation
conditions and heat emitters need to be managed carefully. These lower flow temperatures suit the conditions
required for under-floor heating systems and if installed and designed correctly can deliver a more comfortable,
consistent temperature whilst also increasing the efficiency. Some points to note when designing the installation are
• Room by room thermostats ensure adequate control in all rooms, interlocking of controls is essential whether
using multiple thermostats or not.
• Temperature difference across the flow and return should be less than 10ºC (5ºC for the Ecodan®).
• Use of night-set back instead of turning the system to off, reduces the desired temperatures by around
3 - 4ºC from their daytime levels if desired
• Response times from underfloor heating are much slower than radiators and therefore the property will take
longer to heat up initially, making this type of system less suitable for timed heating cycles
• Any additional radiators should be sized on the flow temperatures used for the under-floor heating, this
negates the need for mixing valves, which are detrimental to the efficiency
When specifying under-floor heating there are some important factors to be aware of, as rectifying mistakes will be
costly if not impossible.
• Bad placement of thermostats, where they are affected by external sources of heat or cold temperatures will
lead to poor temperature control.
• Under-floor heating circuits can produce high pressure losses. The pumps provided in our packaged systems
are capable of providing the necessary flow rates on averagely sized primary circuits, but with the inclusion of
under-floor circuits additional pumps may be necessary and potentially a low loss header to ensure the flow
rates remain high across the heat pump (heating and primary circuits in parallel to allow variable flow rate on
heating and constant flow rate on primary).
• The output (W/m2) of under-floor heating is affected by water temperature, flow rate, pipe diameter, spacing
between pipe centres and resistance of floor coverings. If these factors are not considered at the design
stage then the output may not be sufficient at the desired flow temperature negating the benefits of using
underfloor heating systems.
Hydraulic Separators (low loss headers)
These are used to create a neutral point in a hydraulic system and can be advantageous for achieving separated
circuits with varying characteristics.
For connection of multiple heat sources using FTC-4 control systems Mitsubishi Electric recommend the use of
such items. They can also be utilised on heating circuits if for example constant flow rates and variable flow rates
need to be achieved on a single system.
For further information and advice on the selection of hydraulic separators please contact Mitsubishi Electric
pre-sales technical on 01707 278666.

Cylinder & Hydraulic Components Install Guidance

Cold Mains Pipework
Run the cold main through the building to the place where the cylinder is to be installed. Take care not to run the
cold pipe near hot water or heating pipe work so that the heat pick up is minimized. Identify the cold water supply
pipe and fit an isolating valve (not supplied). A 22mm BS1010 stopcock can typically be used but a 22mm quarter
turn full bore valve would be better as it does not restrict the flow as much. Do not use a “screwdriver slot” or
similar valves. Make sure the connection to the cold feed of the cylinder incorporates a drain valve. Position the inlet
control just above the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV) mounted on the side of the cylinder. This ensures
that the cylinder does not have to be drained down in order to service the inlet control set. Ensure that the arrow
points in the direction of the water flow. Select a suitable position for the expansion vessel. Mount it to the wall
using the bracket provided. Use the hose to connect to the inlet control group.
Balance Cold Connection
If there are to be showers, bidets or monobloc taps in the installation then a balanced cold supply is necessary.
There is a 22mm balanced connection on the inlet control group.
Hot Water Pipework
Run the first part of the hot water distribution pipework in 22mm. This can be reduced to 15mm and 10mm as
appropriate for the type of tap etc. Your aim should be to reduce the volume of the hot draw off pipework to a
practical minimum so that the time taken for the hot water is as quick as possible. Do not use monobloc mixer taps
or showers if the balanced cold connection is not utilised outlets of this type can back pressurize the unit and result
in discharge. Ensure that the top of the expansion vessel is accessible for servicing.
Primary Connections
Ensure that the manifold for the primary flow pipework is moved from its transport position, the same applies to the
circulation pump and TF1 filter, once all components are in the correct position all factory connections should be
tightened. Connect the primary pipework at the inlet side of pump one on the flow and the return just below the TF1
compact filter. The primary circuit is positively pumped. The primary circuit can be open vented or sealed with up to
a maximum pressure of 3.5 bar. If you seal the primary circuit an expansion vessel and pressure relief valve is
required. Effective thermostatic control of both the primary circuit and the cylinder is incorporated into the FTC-4
circuit board and corresponding thermistors, THW1, THW2 and THW5. The primary coil is intended for connection
of Ecodan® air source heat pumps only, the secondary coil (where included) is intended for solar thermal input.
Although it is in theory possible to use other heat sources it is important to note that uncontrolled heat sources
are not suitable.
Secondary Circulation
The Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder can be used with a secondary circulation pump. An appropriate WRAS
approved bronze circulator should be used in conjunction with a non-return valve to prevent backflow. On large
secondary circulation systems it may be necessary to incorporate an extra expansion vessel into the circuit to
accommodate the increased system water volume, details of how to calculate this are found later in this manual.
Efficient control of any secondary circulation pump fitted is essential, to leave the circulation pump on constantly will
cause the cylinder losses to increase dramatically and excessive hot water heat ups using the Ecodan® to occur, if
timed hot water heat ups are being used then a lack of hot water is another impact of poor secondary return pump
control. Timing the secondary return pump to run at times of peak hot water usage provides a slightly more efficient
method of controlling the secondary return pump. The most efficient way to control the secondary return pump is to
ensure that it only runs when required, i.e. when the bathroom is occupied, this can be achieved through use of
passive infra-red sensors. In any case all secondary return pipework should be heavily insulated, with an insulation
of at least the same thermal quality as that used on the primary pipework (thermal conductivity = 0.04W/m.K or less
at 0ºC). A secondary return boss is fitted as standard on 210, 250 and 300L. On smaller sizes tee in between the
cold feed pipe above the drain and the hot water draw off before the first outlet.

Immersion Heaters
Only immersion heaters with a thermal high limit cut-out may be used. To help ensure this the immersion heaters
have a 2¼” BSP thread. They are rated at 3kW at 240 V and are of low noise construction. They have both a
control thermostat and a high limit cut-out. Please order the correct replacement, fitting non-approved immersions
may affect your guarantee. When fitting, ensure the ‘O’ ring is positioned correctly on the head of the immersion
heater and lubricate before fitting. Fit it by hand until almost home and then tighten gently as the ‘O’ rings will seal
easily. The electrical supply to each immersion heaters must be fused spur rated at 16A via a double pole isolating
switch to BS 3456. The cable must be at least 2.5mm² heat resistance (85°C HOFR) sheathed flex complying to BS
6141:1981. In all cases it is the responsibility of the electrician to select and certify the cabling and fuse rating of the
immersion heater circuit. Do not operate the immersion heater/s until the unit is full of water. Do not operate the
immersion heater if any sterilisation liquid is in the cylinder as this will cause premature failure. To complete the
wiring use the appropriate wiring diagrams in the electrical installation section of this manual. Ensure that if internal
control stat is fitted it is set higher than the target on the main controller.
Connecting To The Cylinder
All of the pipework connections on the cylinder are 22mm compression and supplied complete with gland nuts and
olives in the Accessory Kit box. Only connect 22mm copper tube to these connections. Cut the tube with a pipe
cutter and ensure no sharp edges or burrs protrude. Slide both the gland nut and olive onto the tube and push the
tube fully home into the connection ensuring the tube end fully bottoms on the connection recess. Smear the outer
wall of the olive with plumbing paste and tighten the gland nut in the prescribed manner. Upon filling /
commissioning ensure all connections are completely watertight.
Note: No control or isolation valve should be fitted between the expansion relief valve and the storage cylinder. The
relief valve connections should not be used for any other purpose. Check all the connections for tightness including
any factory made connections
Fernox TF1 Compact Filter
All Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinders now have the TF1 compact filter factory fitted on the heat pump return
pipework which is common to both heating and hot water zones. This has been done following feedback from our
installers and in an effort to ensure that every cylinder and Ecodan® combination is adequately protected against
ferrous and non-ferrous material. Periodic servicing of this filter in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations is strongly advised to ensure there are no restrictions to the flow rate. Full technical details on
this product can be found in the accompanying manual.
Zone Valves
All cylinders come with pre-installed Honeywell spring return two port valves, on all models above 150 litres there
are two heating valves serving separate hydraulic zones all models also come with a hot water valve.
FTC-4 Installation Manual
25
Automatic Bypass Valve
18
The Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder
has a spring differential automatic bypass valve
fitted as standard.
This serves two purposes; it allows for the
minimum flow rate of the Ecodan® unit to be
maintained and hence eliminates the possibility
of high pressure or temperature faults due to
insufficient flow rate. It will also ensure that in
the event of a pump overrun occurring when
the demand for heating or hot water has been
satisfied that the primary circulation pump
(heat pump flow) is able to bypass the zone
valves and hence no pump damage will occur.
The diagram to the left shows the position
which the field supplied pipework must exit the
bypass valve and join onto the space heating
return. It is important that this diagram is
adhered to; any deviation could cause the
bypass valve not to operate correctly. The
bypass should be connected to the space
heating return at least 300mm away from
the suction side of the circulation pump
where possible.
The automatic bypass valve should be set so
as to open at the minimum flow rate achieved
for the Ecodan® unit in question.
In situations where an adequate bypass has
been provided elsewhere on the system it is
important to cap the factory fitted auto bypass
valve. Installation of a suitable flow setter (0-10
L/min) on the bypass pipework may help with
commissioning. If you have any questions
about the fitting and commissioning of this
component please contact Mitsubishi Electric
Presales Technical Support on 01707 278666
26
FTC-4 Installation Manual
300mm
As the valve works on differential pressure and
two circulation pumps are being utilised for an
adequate pressure difference to exist the
pipework routing shown ensures that on the
inlet side of the bypass valve there is greater
pressure than on the outlet side which is
connected behind the space heating
circulation pump.
19
Circulation Pumps
All Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinders with FTC-4 control systems come with 2 ‘A rated’ Grundfos UPS2
25 - 60 circulating pumps fitted. One pump is located on the heat pump flow and the other is located on the space
heating return. In hot water mode only the pump on the heat pump flow will energise, whereas in heating mode
both pumps will energise in order to overcome the additional resistance of the heat emitter circuit and associated
pipework. This will ensure the required flow rate is maintained for each mode whilst consuming the minimum
amount of energy possible. The minimum flow rate for each Ecodan® system can be found in the design section of
this manual. If minimum flow rate cannot be achieved with the pumps on speed 3 then additional pumping capacity
may be required – please contact Mitsubishi Electric Pre Sales Technical Support (01707 278666) for further advice.
The second (space heating) circulation pump is controlled by the 2 port valve motor outputs for all 2-zone systems
as shown by the below wiring diagram.

* To achieve good system efficiencies higher flow rates are recommended.
The flow setter valve should be fitted to either the common flow or return field installed pipework, care should be
taken to ensure that the flow setter is installed the correct way around, there is an arrow indicating the direction of
flow embossed into the main body. The flow rate can be altered using the screw adjuster on the front of the unit
however, it is always recommended that this is done as a last resort and that flow rate is adjusted on pump speed
initially. Closing the adjuster screw too much can cause unwanted noise to occur as the water accelerates through
the restriction created by closing the valve. Flow rate should always be read from the bottom section of the float, in
some instances this can be viewed more clearly by shining a torch through the viewing window.
Pipework
In order to achieve the high flow rates required for optimum efficiency appropriate pipework sizes need to be
considered. Selection of pipework will be based upon the resistance of the heating circuit including all emitters (in
most cases higher than the hot water circuit) and Ecodan® heat exchanger. Typical pipe sizes are as follows - these
need to be confirmed by the installer as they are specific to the system in question. Copper pipework should be
used where possible although plastic pipework is acceptable.

Discharge Arrangement
22
Position the inlet control group so that the discharge from both safety valves can be joined together via a 15mm
end feed Tee. Connect the Tundish and route the discharge pipe. The discharge pipework must be routed in
accordance with Part G3 of schedule 1 of the Building Regulations. The information that follows is not exhaustive
and if you are in doubt you should seek advice. The two safety valves will only discharge water under fault
conditions. When operating normally water will not be discharged. The tundish should be vertical, located in the
same space as the unvented hot water storage system and be fitted as close as possible to, and lower than, the
safety device, with no more than 600mm of pipe between the valve outlet and the tundish.
Any Discharge should be visible at the tundish. The tundish should be located such that any discharge is visible.
In addition, where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent, e.g. people with impaired vision or mobility,
consideration should be given to the installation of a suitable safety device to warn when discharge takes place,
e.g. electronically operated.
Note: The discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roofing felt and non-metallic rainwater
goods may be damaged by such discharges.
Note: D2 pipe from tundish is now allowed to be installed in soil stacks within premises. This activity is not
recommended as discharge from T&P may continue for long periods of time. It is the installer’s responsibility
to ensure the discharge pipework can support the discharge for prolonged periods. If used follow guidance
on mechanical seal without water trap given in G3 Building Regulations. As discharge can be in excess of
90ºC discharge into plastic pipework is also not recommended
The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should:
A) Have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or bends
in the pipework.
B) Be installed with a continuous fall of at least 1 in 200 thereafter.
30
FTC-4 Installation Manual
22
Discharge Arrangement
(continued)
The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should be of metal or other material that has been demonstrated to be
capable of withstanding temperatures of the water discharged.
The discharge pipe (D2) should be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device
unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long i.e. discharge pipes between
9m and 18m equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger than the nominal outlet size of the
safety device, between 18 and 27m at least 3 sizes larger, and so on. Bends must be taken into account in
calculating the flow resistance. Refer to diagram 1, Table 1 and the worked example. An alternative approach for
sizing discharge pipes would be to follow BS6700 Specification for design installation, testing and maintenance of
services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages.
The discharge pipe (D2) should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the
discharge. Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are:
• To a trapped gully with the end of the pipe below the fixed grating and above the water seal.
• Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car parks, hard
standings, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that where children play or otherwise come into
contact with discharges, a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact whilst maintaining
visibility.
• Discharges at a high level; e.g. in to metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe
clearly visible or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any
plastic guttering systems that would collect such discharges.
• Device to warn when discharge takes place.
WORKED EXAMPLE
The example below is for a G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. elbows
and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature
relief valve is: 9.0m. Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m. Therefore the maximum
permitted length equates to: 5.8m. 5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m therefore calculate the next largest
size. Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief valve
equates to: 14m. As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.

Main Controller
The main controller is supplied loose with each cylinder package; it acts as both the commissioning tool and end
user interface (timeclock and thermostat). If the main controller is to be utilised as a thermostat then it is essential
that it is correctly located, this may require the cable to be extended, and it must not be left in the cylinder
cupboard. Only when the main controller is not to be utilised as a thermostat may it be installed in the cylinder
cupboard. When placing as a thermostat choose a suitable location that is not likely to be influenced by heat
sources or cold spots (i.e. near radiator/window)
Connect the main controller cable to 11 and 12 on the terminal block (TBI. 2) on the FTC-4 (Master) controller.
When wiring to TBI.2, use ring or fork type terminals .The 10m controller cable is supplied loose. This can be
extended to a maximum of 500 m using the same specification of cable.
The main controller can be installed either in the switch box or directly on the wall. Regardless of whether installing
the main controller either directly on the wall or in the switch box the following clearances should be achieved.

Fossil Fuel Boiler Connection
As shown on the schematic for Ecodan® and fossil fuel boiler connection, it is possible to combine the two
technologies into a common system.
This setup provides the option for the FTC-4 to intelligently control and prioritise either heat source, dependant on
either an outdoor temperature, energy use, cost or CO2 emissions. Full instructions are provided with the boiler
control thermistors (PAC-TH011HT-E) which must be purchased separately and are required for this type of
installation.
Only space heating operation can be supplemented by the boiler; hot water mode is not possible directly from the
FTC-4. When installing a boiler and Ecodan® in conjunction with a Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder, the
position of the low loss header means that both heat sources will be common to both DHW and space heating.
However, please note the boiler will only operate in space heating mode. Please refer to the schematic earlier in
this manual for clarification.
As boiler operation commences, pump overrun will occur meaning that all circulators will be energised. This
continues for a time dictated by the settings entered under ‘economy setting for pump’. As detailed in the ‘main
controller operation’ section this should always be set to 3 minutes with this option turned on via the tick box.
It is assumed the boiler will have its own dedicated circulation pump which is interlocked with the boiler not the
FTC-4. Once the pump overrun period has ended, the main circulation pump on the cylinder (OUT1) and the
dedicated Ecodan® circulation pump (OUT1 with relay protection) will de-energise meaning that the space heating
circulator and the boiler circulator are providing flowrate on each side of the low loss header.
The boiler control output (OUT10) has no voltage across it, unlike the other 240V outputs. It MUST be decided
prior to installation if the boiler in question can be controlled by this method or if a control voltage (AC/DC) is
required when boiler operation is ON.
For more details, refer to the installation manual of PAC-TH011HT-E.

2 Zone Control
The FTC-4 factory manual uses a different method of 2 zone control to that commonly seen in the UK.
A low loss header or mixing tank is used to separate the hot water zone and the heat pump from the two
space heating zones; no zone valves are used on the output side of the header. Instead additional circulation
pumps are employed, one on each zone. There is also the option for different flow temperatures on each zone.
An example of this arrangement is shown below:
This setup cannot be integrated onto a pre-plumbed cylinder without drastically increasing physical size and costs.
Therefore the hydraulic and electrical configuration on the Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder has been tailored
to suit common UK 2 zone applications with a motorised valve controlling each zone directly connected to the
primary circuit.
All thermistors and valves are prewired from the factory; all that is required to activate 2 zone control is the addition
of a thermostat to control the second zone. This thermostat must be a third party item and connects to IN6, SW3-1
MUST be turned ON if IN6 is to be utilised.
Please note that the flow switches will be turned off via DIP switches as will the mixing valve control as shown in the
above diagram.
All pre-plumbed cylinders except for the 150 litre model come with DIP switches pre-set for 2 zone function; in the
case that only one zone is to be utilised you MUST turn OFF SW2-6 and SW2-7.

General Commissioning
Before Filling
Check and tighten all mechanical joints prior to commissioning. Cap and seal 2nd heating zone valve outlet if not in
use to avoid potential leaks on models 180 and above. Check all controllers are commissioned and DIP switches
are set correctly.
Filling The Cylinder
Check the pressure in the expansion vessel is 3 bar (45PSI), i.e. the same as the setting of the pressure reducing
valve. The valve is of the car tyre (Schrader) type. Check all the connections for tightness including any factory made
connections such as the immersion heater and the temperature and pressure relief valve. Before filling open the hot
tap furthest away from the Mitsubishi Electric pre-plumbed cylinder to let air out. Open the cold main isolation valve
and allow the unit to fill. When water flows from the tap allow it to run for a short while to flush through any dirt,
swarf or flux residue. Close the tap and open every other hot tap in turn to purge all remaining air. Check the
cylinder target temperature programmed on the main controller is set to 55ºC.
Filling The Primary Circuit
Ensure the lever on the two port valve(s) is set to the filling position. When full, move the lever back to the auto
position. Switch the main controller to Domestic Hot Water (DHW) mode and allow the cylinder to start to heat,
ensure a complete cylinder heat up is observed and that switchover to heating mode is then tested.
Safety Valve Checks
During heat-up there should have been no sign of water coming from either the expansion relief valve or the
temperature / pressure relief valve. Now hold both of these safety valves fully open allowing as much water as
possible to flow through the tundish. Check that your discharge pipework is free from debris and is carrying the
water away to waste efficiently. Release the valves and check that they reseat properly.
Emitter Circuit
Check Primary flow rate is acceptable for the Ecodan® model in question with all zones/circuits open; confirm that
all valves are fully open and that strainers are clear before adjusting pump speed and hence primary flow rate. It
may be necessary to run the system in fixed flow temperature mode during this period to ensure that temperatures
requested can be achieved and maintained.
With radiator systems start to adjust lockshields so that all radiators are balanced and reaching an even
temperature, usually the first radiators on the circuit will become hotter fastest and need their flow rate restricting,
the opposite applies to those radiators further away from the heat source. When commissioning underfloor heating
circuits the balancing is carried out by adjusting the flow rate for each zone at the relevant manifold, the designer
will have specified a required flow rate for each zone which must be adhered to.
Antifreeze
Must be added to the required concentration (20-25%) and must have biocide protection. Mitsubishi Electric can
supply this item in 10 and 25 litre containers (SAP 246670 and SAP 246671).

Main Controller Operation and Commissioning
It is advised that main controller settings are programmed for the specific installation to ensure the system can
operate to its full efficiency and the end user’s requirements are met. Some key points when setting up the main
controller for the first time are described in this section:
*1 when the system is switched off or the power supply is
disconnected, the water circuit protection functions (e.g. freeze
stat. function) will NOT operate. This will not cause an issue for
UK installations as the system will be treated with antifreeze.

Explanation of DHW operation
•
When the DHW tank temperature drops from “DHW max. temp” by more than the “DHW max.
temperature drop” (set by installer), DHW mode operates and the flow from the primary heating circuit
is diverted to heat the water in the DHW tank.
•
When the temperature of the stored water reaches the ‘DHW max. temp.’ set by the installer or if the
‘DHW max. operation time’ set by the installer is exceeded DHW mode ceases to operate.
•
Whilst DHW mode is in operation primary hot water is not directed to the space heating circuit.
•
Directly after DHW max. operation time ‘DHW mode restriction’ will routinely operate. The duration of
this feature is set by the installer and during its operation DHW mode cannot (normally) be reactivated,
allowing time for the system to deliver primary hot water to the space heating if required. However, if at
this time there is no current demand for space heating, the system will automatically resume DHW
mode. This will continue until it receives a demand for space heating.
•
After the ‘DHW mode restriction’ operation the DHW mode can operate again and DHW tank heating
will continue according to system demand.
DHW mode can run in either ‘Normal’ or ‘Eco’ mode. Normal mode will heat the water in the DHW tank more
quickly using the full power of the heat pump. Eco mode takes a little longer to heat the water in the DHW tank but
the energy used is reduced. This is because heat pump operation is restricted using signals from the
FTC-4 based on measured DHW tank temperature.

Legionella Prevention Mode settings (LP mode)
During Legionella Prevention Mode the temperature of the stored water
is increased above 60°C to inhibit legionella bacterium growth. It is
strongly recommended that this is done at regular intervals. Please
check local regulations for the recommended frequency of heat ups.
1. Use button F3 to choose legionella mode active YES/NO.
2. Use button F4 to edit the legionella function.
3. Use F1 and F2 keys to scroll through the menu selecting
each subtitle in turn by pressing CONFIRM.
4. Enter the desired number using the function keys and
press CONFIRM.
Explanation of Legionella Prevention Mode operation
1. At the time entered by the installer ‘Start time’
flow of useful heat from the system is diverted
to heat the water in the DHW tank.
2. When the temperature of the stored water
exceeds the ‘Hot Water temp.’ set by the
installer (above 65°C) primary circuit water
is no longer diverted to heat the DHW tank.
3. Whilst LP mode is in operation hot water is
not directed to the space heating circuit.
4. Directly after LP mode operation ‘Duration
of max. temp’ will operate. The duration of
this feature is set by the installer and during
its operation stored water temperature will
be monitored.
5. If stored water temperature should drop to LP
restart temp, LP mode will restart and primary
water flow from the heat source(s) will be directed
to the DHW tank to boost the temperature. Once the
set time for Duration of Max. temp has passed LP mode
will not recur for the set interval (set by installer).
6. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the settings for
Legionella Prevention are compliant with local and national guidelines.

Forced DHW
The forced DHW function is used to force the system to operate in DHW mode. In normal operation the water in the
DHW tank will be heated either to the set temperature or for the maximum DHW time, whichever occurs first. However,
should there be a high demand for hot water ‘Forced DHW’ function can be used to prevent the system from routinely
switching to space heating and continue to provide DHW tank heating. Forced DHW operation is activated by pressing
button F1 and Back button in the ‘Option Screen’. After DHW operation finishes, the system will automatically return to
normal operation. To cancel forced DHW operation hold down button F1 in the ‘Option Screen’.
Heating
The heating menu deals with space heating, using either a radiator or underfloor system depending on the
installation. The system can run in one of three modes, weather compensation, room compensation or fixed flow
temperature. When using Mitsubishi Electric thermostats/sensors it is recommended that room compensation
mode is used. When using third party thermostats for example on a multi-zone underfloor heating system either
weather compensation mode or room compensation mode can be used. Weather compensation mode must be
programmed to suit the system design for the building in question. Fixed flow temperature mode is a function that
is utilised for commissioning only.

(continued)
Explanation of Compensation Curve
During late spring and summer usually the demand for space heating is reduced. To prevent the heat pump from
producing excessive flow temperatures for the primary circuit the compensation curve mode can be used to
maximise efficiency and reduce running costs. The compensation curve is used to restrict the flow temperature of
the primary space heating circuit dependent on the outdoor ambient temperature. The FTC-4 uses information from
both an outdoor ambient temperature sensor and temperature sensors on the primary circuit supply to ensure the
heat pump is not producing excessive flow temperatures if the weather conditions do not require it.

systems once the demand has been met so that various sensor readings can
be accurately stored during this period. Under the sub menu ‘economy setting
for pump’ this function should always be turned on via the tick box, simply
turning this option off will result in the pump having no economy setting and
running continuously. The delay should always be reduced to the minimum (3
minutes). Meaning that during the 3 minutes after the heating or hot water
demands have been satisfied the pump will run, making it essential that the
automatic bypass valve is installed and commissioned as previously described
in this manual.

17
After DHW operation
room temperature
rises slightly.
At the end of the DHW mode operation the
motorised valve diverts hot water away from
the DHW circuit into space heating circuit.
This is done to prevent the hydrobox
components from overheating. The amount
of hot water directed into the space heating
circuit varies according to the type of the
system and of the pipe run between the
plate heat exchanger and the hydrobox.
Normal operation no action necessary.

If bladder perished replace expansion vessel with a new one with appropriate
precharge.
4. DHW tank may have subjected to
backflow.
4.
Check gas-side pressure in DHW tank. If pressure in DHW tank is similar to
that in incoming mains, cold water supply that merges with incoming mains
water supply could flow back to DHW tank. Investigate source of back-feed
and rectify error in pipework/fitting configuration. Adjust pressure in cold
supply.
